Daily density measurements show a large varia- tion throughout the year (Figure 35 and Table 15). Monthly mean values (Fig- ure 36) generally varied inversely with water temperature such that maxima occurred during the cold months—January, February, November, and December— and minima during the summer months (Table 15). The annual mean density was g/cm^ with an associated standard deviation of g/cnP. 113. 1982 versus 1981. Variabi
. Annual data summary for 1982 CERC Field Research Facility. Oceanographic research stations; Meteorology; Water waves. Density 112. Present data year. Daily density measurements show a large varia- tion throughout the year (Figure 35 and Table 15). Monthly mean values (Fig- ure 36) generally varied inversely with water temperature such that maxima occurred during the cold months—January, February, November, and December— and minima during the summer months (Table 15). The annual mean density was g/cm^ with an associated standard deviation of g/cnP. 113. 1982 versus 1981. Variability in daily density values throughout 1982 was greater than that for 1981; however, the 1982 monthly and annual means (Figure 36) and distribution (Figure 37) were lower than those for 1981. This trend is reasonably consistent with a pattern of monthly mean temperature differences which indicate that 1982 temperatures were greater than those for 1981. However, during a few months this inverse relationship between tempera- ture and density did not occur, indicating that salinity differences were probably responsible for the density variations. These may have resulted from either large-scale circulation of nearshore water masses or locally-induced salinity changes due to rainfall.
